Airdrie's competitive men's football team will kick off their 2022 Alberta Football League season against the Central Alberta Buccaneers on June 4.

Despite not reaching the podium, Davies said he was proud to play alongside such skilled teammates on international ice, adding the opportunity was a great learning experience to learn from some of Hockey Canada’s top coaches.

After a three-day tryout in April at Calgary's Shouldice Athletic Park, Micai St. Lewis and MJ Doyle-Marshall from Airdrie were selected as members of Team South. 

“We’re the first tackle football team out of Airdrie, so it’s nice to be part of history and watch the girls pave the path for someone else to follow next year.”

According to head coach Steve Kemp, this season marks the first time since 2014 that Airdrie’s U17 football team has finished in the top two of the CSFA regular-season standings.

“It's good for them to experience the high level, playing at provincials.”

Both the junior and senior CobraCats girls teams won their respective divisional championships at the Rocky View Schools Ruby 7s tournament in Airdrie May 9

Two Airdronians helped their team to victory in Ontario on May 8, during the U18 women's Canadian Curling Championship.

The 18-year-old senior student-athlete said it felt like a blessing to commit to the Edmonton-based Canada West program, given the serious knee injury she experienced last fall.

Following a few weather-related setbacks in April, Airdrie's local golf courses are excited to have officially kicked off the 2022 golf season.
